Like dabbling with the later era CAN AM cars as these are easier to draw than the earlier cars with the flowing curves in 3 planes. Below is a dabbling exercise from a while ago to look at drawing a Lola T333CS, this particular version stopped at this point as I redrew the design from scratch.
Fast forward to this year and racing NSR F1s on a Ninco club track and the thought crossed my mind of doing a F5000 version body to sit on the NSR F1 chassis below.
Created some lower profile TPU front tyres to go on the NSR hubs but otherwise a stock NSR chassis.
Resurrecting the design in pic 1 and a bit of dabbling produced a stretched version to fit on the NSR F1 chassis as below. This is FDM printed on a CR10s and shown here after rubbing down and primer applied. Shell prints vertically in one go complete with driver.
Feel compelled now to design a 3dp chassis for this shell to compete against the NSR.
Cheers

Yup, the vertical prints are pretty good. That one looks nice.
